Spire Mansion
Nat was very much aware of the heavy storm buffeting the county, The ever howling wind that was threading to rip apart some of the old trees planted in the green vast garden ahead of him, made the current weather incredibly easy to recognise. Still, he wouldn't say that he disliked the constant echoing thunder in the distance that sounded like some of the ship girls were practising again, nor did he dislike the calming sound of rain constantly tapping the floor as it flowed out from the dark lightning flashing skies.
His current destination was incredibly easy to see, it was a large Victorian age mansion, made of bricks and at least ten stories high, French glass windows that allowed the owners to gaze upon what he assumed would normally be beautiful bright gardens. There were no obvious signs of any type of defence to this house as he made his way down the paved floor, well no obvious detections for a muggle anyway. Armed Statues of knights lined the entrance way forever standing at attention even as the rain lashed down on them, seemingly intent on weathering the stone material into nothing but dust.
Besides the statues, however, there were also the wards around this property, older and far more dangerous wards than anything he had where he had been raised, although that wasn't really a fair comparison. This wasn't some random small Victorian house that had been constructed and then had magic to do the rest of the work inside. Rather this magnificent old building was a symbol of wealth and power, only belonging to truly rich families whatever their blood may be.
Upon reaching the front door, a large old English oak door, opened of its own accord into the dark red brick home giving his entrance. It was not his first time in an old large house whether it be Muggle or magical, but it was the very first time he had ever visited the home of Lord Hermes Squire. The entrance would be considered magnificent with a luxurious dark red and black rug int he middle that rested upon a black and white chequered marble floor, old looking furniture rested in the middle of the grand hall hallway with a fireplace, that had a small number of dark leather chairs around for resting while one waited for an audience with the lord, to a small table and chair that had a set of chess on it, ready to be played at an instants notice.
"May I take your coat please Heir Tempest" He turned his attention down towards the house elf, like most of their kind, they were somewhat hideous looking creatures. Not to the scale of Goblins, trolls or giants, but they were far from the graceful image that one might have had, with no beautiful creamy skin thousand year language or beautifully shaped bodies, these were certainly not what J.R.R Tolkien had imagined when writing his books. Yet the house elf obviously took pride in his appearance, he was dressed in a smart looking butlers uniform, it was slightly different to what most families did with the clothing of their clothes, but the fact of the matter was that if one had servants than how they came across represented you. Obviously, Lord Spire was a man who preferred to keep himself and those under him held to a higher standard than most.
"My sincerest thanks, mr ?"
"Tetain Heir Tempest I am servant Tetain, if you please follow me, sir, Lord Squire has been expecting you". Due to who he was meeting and because of the fact that he wouldn't be invited round on a casual visit, he had dressed in a formal business-like attire, a black blazer and tie alongside both of which had the emblem of house Tempest on them. This was then followed by a white shirt as well as proper lace-up shoes and trousers with his normally digital watch replaced with a more expensive analogue design.
The emblem of house Tempest was nothing special or anything particularly memorable, It was a wand in the middle crossed by a bakers rifle on the left and an officers sabre to the right, at the same time an animated storm brewed in the background. The sword and rifle were a representation of the weapons that his ancestor, Lord Dominic Tempest had used as his muggle weapons when he served in the British Army during the Napoleonic wars, with the wand representing the magic while the flashing storm was of the surroundings at the time when the man had saved King George the hired from an assassin. However, for now, his focus was on the man he was about to meet in person for the first time. With a gentle knock on the door of what he assumed to be the man's study, he straightened out his appearance to be sure before hearing the words to come in and stepped inside.
"Heir Tempest, It is good to see that you have my message, with the current weather I wasn't too sure if my Owl would get to you" Lord Squire, would be considered a handsome man by many standards, it was a result of not only the magic in his blood which prevented wizards and witches from becoming ugly, alongside a good set of ancestors who had good physical appearance genes. Like himself, Lord Squire had also seemingly gained a magical quirk when it came to his physical appearance except for where his eyes were a dull purple, Lords Squire difference was that he had a natural hazel shade exactly that of the nut that the colour was named after.
"I apologise for any problems Lord Squire, if there are any problems with your owl let me know so that I can pay for any costs that are needed" Upon the pale mans sharp eye movement aiming towards the desk in the centre of the room, he politely nodded his head before walking towards it calmly and then sitting down first while his eyes respectfully tracked the Lord around his study.
"Would you care for a drink Heir Tempest, I recently imported this Hot Chocolate from Brazil, its made from specially made cocoa beans that give the chocolate an added taste far better than anything a muggle can make". Giving a look at the chocolate drink offered, Nat decided to take the man up on his offer as the man prepared with his own two hands a hot chocolate before adding cream, wafers, marshmallows and a few another thing before placing it down in front of him.
"Lord Squire I mean no offence by this, but while I very much do appreciate the drink, I cannot be too careful with the times and would please ask for forgiveness if I offend you by checking that the drink is safe to consume." Had he been somewhere else, with a person who didn't understand the current political magical landscape, than a person would surely have been offended as he drew his wand in a non-threatening manner, Thankfully though the man seemed perfectly content with his actions as he did the exact same thing, drawing his wand before casting a charm on his drink to check for anything that could be used to try to poison or harm them.
"Fear Not Heir Tempest, I perfectly understand your reasoning, and while I do place trust in my servants and wards, it is not an ill decision to check that we are indeed safe especially with the times we live in" With the drink now checked as safe, Nat wasted no time in politely pressing the hot drink to his lips before tilting the glass upwards ever so slightly so that he would be able to taste a sip. As he did so he gave an internal smile of satisfaction of the taste before complimenting it
"I thank you Lord Squire for your understanding, and may I ask whom did you contact to get hold of this recipe and the cocoa beans. I'm afraid I've never tasted chocolate quite like it, it has a rather exquisite taste, something that is to be savoured slowly with time rather than to just drink down in one gig go, I thank you for allowing me such a taste". Lord Squire gave a slightly happy face at that, more than likely the man might have created a separate contract with the dealer of the cocoa to himself something that wouldn't be unheard of with the man. After all the Squire family was considered the only magical family to own anything like muggle high-class restaurants for the really rich using special ingredients and recipes that only his family knew.
"I appreciate your compliment Heir Tempest, I will pass that long to my chef's, however, I'm afraid I did not call you out here for you to become a new taste tester, but rather so that was could work out some business and discuss the most recent events". Of course, that was what the man wanted, Nat had expected nothing less of the man who was considered one of the leaders if not the de-facto leader of what could be considered the conservative party.
"Very well Lord Squire" He didn't need to say anything else to the man, he was a guest in the man's home and their topic of conversation was likely going to be straight and direct.
"Mr's Weasley is bringing up some very disastrous votes to the Parliament soon, they plan of specifically targeting us in a multiple ways's to get us permanently out of any positions of power and to replace them with her followers" Nat stayed quiet as he heard this but mulled over the information in his head, it was a very well known thing that ever since the end of the Second Wizarding War, that Mrs Weasley alongside those who had fought alongside her had become far more radical in her belief's. It had started years ago with the dim-witted thought of releasing house elf as she saw them in slavery, without doing any research on the topic. When she got into power, she started doing some incredibly stupid political moves such as releasing the Dementors, something which had cost heavily on the other magical governments of the world ruining relations. After that, she had mandated the execution of all families that had been involved with Voldemort, not even bothering to learn their stories.
This action was then followed by replacing entire families with brand new muggle's who knew nothing of magical culture or traditions to seriously tip the scales of political power. The consequences of this action were heavy since it was a known thing between the neutrals and what was left of the supposed "Dark" families that there, in general, had to be a balance of power. It had forced some families like his own to actually moved from the centre just in hopes of preventing one side from utterly dominating, of course, there was the fact that out of raw fear of Mrs Weasley, that most neutral families went to the "light" side of the now heavily sided magical parliament.
"There are a lot of new laws, that she plans to enact, there is the mandatory release of all house elves, a law that would make goblins and magical's equal to the point of giving the creatures the right to uses wands, loosening the laws on the statute of secrecy that would a person to tell anyone they want so long as they believe that person is trustworthy. A mandotry law that all families that have "regressive and harmful" views would be forced to pay eighty percent in taxes, so that "The poor and hard working people who have worked hard and suffered under corrupt rich families can breathe happily and free again" There were several more new laws that were mentioned, about preventing people from holding certain positions due to their view points on things as well as preventing older families from accessing thing, but then there was one thing which Nat realised would utterly decimate any small amount of power that families like he had left. "Finally, she plans on placing in laws that would enable her to destroy and take control of any family she wanted".
"She's planning on using the wrongful thinking laws to arrest any member of a house and once found guilty, would then have the permission to take complete and utter control, enabling her to steal everything away purely due to guilt by association or by disowning the other members of the house". Lord Squire nodded as his brown hazel eyes kept track of the boy. Despite his calm face more than likely, the young man was piecing things together on not what she could do, but how fast it would take for her to gain such power to be able to destroy things. "The Parliament is already limited in number; if she took control of each family and wiped it away with a majority vote than nobody would ever be able to stop anything she did. Not to mention she would have the support of the Goblins to do so" Lord Squires eyes hardened at that knowledge.
"Despite what they say, the Goblins are vicious little bastards, we should have wiped them out a position that they could never threaten us again, thievery, slavery they're a barbaric race that horde anything. We struggled enough last time due to their magic, if they got their hands on wands than there would be no stopping them, we would all be threatened if not taken into slavery". Nat nodded, he knew the history of that race, they had fought against wizards for world domination, when they had lost they tried to play the victim card Any and all women that the creatures beat were promptly taken into sex slavery into their underground city, apparently they were administered with some type of aphrodisiac so that they lost their minds and craved only the touch of those creatures, even worse the aphrodisiac changed the women's biology so that they wouldn't need food or water anymore, not to mention the stamina that was needed to sustain themselves with so many creatures down there.
"Indeed" Being given a copy of a summary of the laws that Weasley wanted to push through, Nat was able to see just exactly what the woman was planning to achieve. "Taking away the old houses would cement her position, and there is a numeral family magic that people want to get a hold off, As for this though, the destruction of magical currency so that all people are equal, all "hate speech" will be prevented, any and all homes would belong to the people and will be required to allow Aurors to access without any form of written identification. Weasley has been reading up on the Communists, She doesn't just plan on removing us from power, she becomes deluded enough that she wants to make a better world where evil is destroyed". There was an odd look of confusion on Lord Squires face, not that he didn't expect it, the man was from a pureblood family. It wasn't as bad as the Malfoys had been but they were still rather ignorant of the muggle world, not that it was their fault.
"I can't say I know what communists are, could you elaborate please"
"Essentially its an idea where money no longer exists and all people are equal, this also means that anything private no longer exists, such as you wouldn't be allowed to own your home but rather the people owned it. It doesn't work though, millions of muggles die in communist countries and generally all history before communism is seen as bad and has to be destroyed, any criticism of communism and its considered hateful with the person being executed. Before the seas were cut off, it began gaining traction with young idiots over the world, despite being a threat to nations and to the normal person these traitors weren't found and executed".
"I see, It sounds somewhat similar to what Voldermort wanted to establish, If this was to come true, than not only would Mrs Weasley ruin the British wizarding world, but entire wizarding world to the point of breaking the statute of secrecy" Despite the fact that they now had a good reason to go to war with Mrs Weasley, the two of them knew it wouldn't be as simple as that. The Golden Trio was still considered heroes by the majority of the wizarding world unless they had solid evidence of their plans, then the three of them would walk free before likely executing them for treason.
"There's nothing we can do politically, We can fight back as much as we want, but we don't have the power to effect change, and it will only mean that we become the first targets of the woman's wrath. If she is able to contact the Goblins then this war is going to be incredibly bloody and we'll be outnumbered more than we are already, our only chance is a debilitating first." There was no look of alarm on Lord Squires face as he gave a slow nod to the young teenager, the two of them had been thinking the exact same thing, they had done all they could politically and by continuing to fight they gave the woman and her allies time to prepare more efficiently for the upcoming war. If Weasley was able to gain control of the wizarding families than she would have access to even larger amounts of funds than she already did, with an enemy far larger and powerful than they were, they could not allow them to get the time to build up their strength.
As he thought about it, Nat couldn't help but think about Pearl Harbour in the Second World War, they couldn't afford to miss any targets, and more importantly, they would have to stay constantly on the move. If they waited, then they gave the enemy time to recover or ask for help, time was not on their side in the slightest, rather they needed to start and end this war in days rather than months or worse years.
"Weasley will be celebrating the birthday of their youngest daughter in a few days, Potter and the rest of the most competent bunch have already purchased tickets when they checked out a muggle cinema. Everything's already planned, the timing the film, the rest of the kids will be at Hogwarts leaving them out of the casualty lists" Nat knew who exactly what Lord Squire was talking about, a few years ago, Weasley had an unexpected baby who would be about six now. Her birthday party would be the one time where the adults would be in one place with their defences down, had it been during the Second Wizarding War, then they would never have done such a thing, but the war had lowered their defences as they all wished to prevent another war. It was why Weasley was trying to move through politics so that she could gain control without having to resort to large amounts of violence.
"If you can give me the address, then I can deal with them in a single blow" Lord Squire nodded as he reached for a piece of paper and then a pen, quickly writing down the address of the cinema down. There was a reason there were no words said, if one of them got captured they couldn't afford to let the other have their sources discovered, as it would be too much of a threat. For Lord Squire, the man's contact was possibly some anamagius or the mind of one of Weasleys children who had been interrogated by Lord Squires daughter. As for him, he was already in contact with the Prime Minister, even better, with the revolutionaries there had been attacks all over the country ever since the Prime Minister had put out the order to deal with them. All it would take, would be for a disguised group of special forces to create explosives and blow up the cinema that Mrs Weasley would be at, in a single explosion they would not only get rid of the most dangerous members of the woman's group but also have a perfectly hidden way of disguising the killing.
"Vey good, but we need to have a backup plan, should something go wrong, than Weasley and her supporters will start the war, we need to ensure that we get rid of all high-level targets before the war can start in earnest". Again with such a small numbers, it meant that they would have to strike the most important and dangerous targets first, Weasley and Potter were the most dangerous of all of them, Weasley due to the support she could get and Potter due to his position as Head of DMLE. Ever since he had taken control, the quality of Aurors had risen which at first was good, but most were loyal to him or Weasley, which would make them a very dangerous opponent for their side, he could easily take them on, after all, they were only aurous and he was a world-class duelling champion, he didn't face much an of a problem in combat but the other's did.
"If it fails, than we kidnap one of their children from Hogwarts, the wards are still depleted so we would be able to waltz in and get one of them, than we lay a trap" Nats plan was easy, with this sort of trap than Potter or an Auror would be on the lookout for any type of magic that could be used as a trap, like runes or magical blasting powder, all things which could be detected with magic with a general sweep. However he had already gained the assistance of the muggle government with this war, he wouldn't have to need to use magic, rather all he would do would be to strap the child to a chair in the middle of a room, than attach C4 to the walls of the room with a cameras to watch. As soon as their enemies arrived he would simply switch the button on and then boom the Aurors would be dead. He could also do the exact same thing with the offices of targets by placing muggle explosives inside before than detonating them. Lastly, with help of the muggle government, Weasley and the others would be considered terrorists and if they were seen in public would be then apprehended forcing them to flee and stay out of muggle areas. Even if not, then he could always ask to borrow a pilot or tanks, and in the worst case scenario, he asked Warspite to help in some targeting exercises.
"Besides my duelling abilities, why are you asking me to join you?" He definitely was going to join them, Weasley was far too dangerous to be allowed to carry on unchecked, and as a powerful duelist he would be of great assistance, yet there had to be a reason why they were asking him, the heir to house Tempest rather than his father was the Lord of the house. Although, he had a suspicion why this was the case.
"Ever since it had been founded, your family, House Tempest has always sat on the middle of the parliament, your family was given place by Royal Appointment, yet despite this, you embraced the magical culture yet maintain your relation to the muggle world. You're certainly not a pure-blooded house, how many half-bloods have there been in your family beside's you?, of course, anyway besides managing to save that muggle kings life, your family has done nothing of note, just a regular family who had always had to work for a living, but never poor. You're family never once held a political office and had no family magic until recently". In all honesty Nat was wondering why the man was beginning to recount his families history, he knew it off by heart so the man wasn't saying anything he didn't know, still, it would be disrespectful to tell the man to shut up and get to the point.
"Your family stayed natural during the Grindelwald era, and during the first wizarding war, managing to keep itself alive, but then your father was born. Proud Alexander Tempest determined to raise his family house in the world, and he was doing rather well at it too, became a highly skilled Auror fought in the second wizard war and began to start to amass a decent fortune with some incredibly talented business skills. It was all going so well for him, his house was on the rise for the first time ever and then he met that woman" While he said nothing, Nat already began to feel his blood start to boil and anger swell in his mind as the image of that woman came to his mind, he could feel the intense hatred he held for that despicable woman, the desire to rip her apart limb from limb, to torture her with the cruciartus curse until she went made.
"That woman, a beautiful blonde haired, model wasn't she, smart intelligent beautiful and kind as well as interested in the magical world, everything that your father could have desired. It didn't take long didn't it, for them to rut away combining magical and muggle essence together to have a child born of wedlock, not that it mattered as they were soon married after and that child became the heir to house Tempest" It was with this that Nat could confirm the rumors about Lord Squire, while he may not have been as bad as others, the man still harboured a dislike for muggle's and their ways.
"Except I didn't last did it, four years later, your father discovered the truth your mother was being played with by six other men in your father's bed, wasn't she. Not once had she ever cared for him and was only after his wealth something that she got due to Mrs Weasley, and what happened, oh yes now I remember your pure blooded father was sent into a depression, everything was taken away from him and his child that he has yet to recover from leaving him as nothing but an empty shell of past glory". There was a smirk on Lord Squires face as he recounted the history of his house, yet despite the amount of gloating that the man did, Nat insured to stay calm as he had been caught. He could get angry internally but never could he show weakness and allow a person to take advantage of him.
"It was supposed to be the end of your house; you would have faded away into the background like you always had beforehand, except there was a difference." With the way he was speaking, mentioning about his families past and its accomplishments, it could only mean that the man wanted to try to appeal to his families pride for more than just a military alliance for the upcoming war. His answer would instantly be a no, the house of Tempest had only ever joined the second wizarding war, because there was no neutral side, it had been made abundantly clear that if a family stayed neutral than they would be considered an enemy of both sides. Still, he allowed the man to carry on speaking if only out of respect due to their traditions and culture.
"The bastard half-blood heir, was not an ordinary wizard, no instead by the age of twelve he had won the worlds under seventeen duelling championship, then before he had even turned fifteen he had graduated Hogwarts with scores similar to that of the last two Great Wizards that came out of the school. And now according to some reports, he is working on a secret project with the muggle government although what it is about, nobody knows" Okay it was for certain now, Despite his distaste for Weasley, there was no way that the woman would reveal that knowledge freely with anyone but her husband and the chief Auror, which meant that Lord Squire had a way to gain top secret information, something that would pose immediate danger to his job with the Royal Navy.
If the man discovered what was happening there then it could become a rallying cry against muggle's due to possibly summoning demons. Of that happened then there would be a magical and muggle war, with their population already severely decreased due to the second wizarding war and likely to decrease even more with the upcoming wart than a third war could likely nearly collapse British magical society. And if that happened, then not only would he personally be executed, then so would the ship girls and the British government which without the current Prime Minister would lead to the collapse of the country. If that happened then not only would he not be paid his rather large paycheck that came with his contract, than it would put his sister at risk, something he would not abide. Either way, he knew what he had to do with a far more traditionalist like Lord Squire, he would have to make sure that the man alongside his fellow minded supporters was permanently taken out of the war, not only for magical but also muggle society.
"Now when the war would be won, House Squire would need the assistance of new houses to take the place of what had once been the older houses, as our allies. Therefore I propose that after this war is won, or two families would begin an alliance that would relate our positions far higher than they already our, and would give us great stature". Yeah, Nat knew he was right and going by the words he had a very good idea of what the man was going to propose next. "If you were to join my house in such an alliance, then we would cement it in marriage, My daughter Venus to yourself Heir Tempest"
"That is a very generous offer, Lord Squire I will be certain to think about it, however, such a thing would not be possible until after the war has ended. After all, I need to concentrate all of my effort on the upcoming war for us to strengthen our current position, and any thoughts of marriage could distract me in the meantime". The man smiled gently as he looked at the young teenager before him, as far as Lord Squire was concerned, the muggle blood Heir Tempest possessed could be ignored. The child was exceedingly powerful and intelligent for his age and while his grandchildren's blood would not be entirely pure, it would be worth that cost to ensure that they would be powerful themselves.
"I understand your caution, I have spoken with some of the survivors of the second wizarding war who's thoughts of a family nearly killed them as they panicked, I would wish that for the upcoming war that we are all in the best condition, especially against the foe we face. For now though, please relax and enjoy the meal my servant has prepared, it is rather delicious" With a respectful nod, Nat would stay at Lord Squires mansion for the next few hours, discussing things in a businesslike manner which were possible war plans and partners they could possibly gain.
14 February
10 Downing Street
"You're not asking for much are you?" The sarcasm was heavy in the Prime Ministers voice as he looked at the teenager sitting opposite him, a cup of tea as always in his hand. "You want me not only to commit a terrorist attack on my own people to kill the leader of your magical government, but when the war begins to state that all supporters of the "light" side are terrorists and to be arrested on sight, but also during that war, to kill some of the most powerful supporters of the side that you would be fighting on. Would you care to explain to me why I should be getting this involved with magical Britain's Politics when every other time a Prime Minister has tried to interfere, it has always ended poorly"?
"According to the most recent developments of Mrs Weasley's statements, they refer to what she is calling for an end to hateful and evil policies based on social constructions. Plans to first redistribute wealth and tax the oldest families first before entirely abolishing money and stripping people she doesn't agree with out of the Parliament and taking their belongings for the good of the people. That sounds a lot like Communism, If she goes through with her plan, then it would utterly destroy the democracy that we have maintained for over five centuries. Her words may be honeyed, but they reek of what the young and idiotic of the previous generation constantly kept spouting."
"While our reports do indicate that Mrs Weasley was far more active than others in the past, do you seriously believe that she poses a threat to the United Kingdom?" Nat could understand the Prime Ministers desire to stay out of the upcoming conflict, there had been a general agreement that neither side would interfere with the other for centuries. If they wished to, the U.K could stay neutral during the fight however it would serious repercussions since if the one person was the key to their plan to take the world's oceans and seas were taken out than it would spell economic disaster for the country.
"Weasley was always a morally led idiot, she's based all of her laws and what she believes to be the perfect world government where this is no wrong and everybody is holding hands. She's always refused to compromise and it always her way or nothing else, she never once bothered to learn magical culture or its history instead always seeing it through her tinted glasses. If she doesn't like something then it has to go, if she had stayed in the magical world than it wouldn't have been as bad. Except she's always considered the Muggle world to be the pariah of morality and as such, she discovered what she's decided to be the ultimate moral path for humanity. If she wins the war that she will spread her ideas via force around the entire magical world, after that she will then target muggle countries as she realises that they are not how they should be in her mind. When that happens there will be a major magical muggle war and millions will die".
"What about your own allies, why have us also deal with them?" The Prime Minister spoke soundly, it was of the utmost importance, that if he was to get his country to intervene in the upcoming war, that there was an actual threat to the nation especially with such troubled times.
"If we win, then Lord Squire will find out about the ship girls, and when that happens I will be considered a traitor and the ship girls will be attacked when that happens another magical war will break out between our people. We both know what will happen if we lose the ship girls, the country will collapse. And if we lose then I will be executed by Weasley as a traitor when she is the true Traitor which will get rid of any future ship girls".
Leaning back onto his chair, the PM couldn't help but consider the consequences deeply, truthfully he had despised Weasley, she was bossy, hard-headed and unwilling to compromise on anything as well as far too morally driven. He had been alive in the past decade and had seen the sheer straits of what some people would do the achieve their utopian government, not once they ever think about what was even possible or the consequences, instead preferring to think that just because as far as they were concerned, that as they had the moral high ground that everything would go right for them.
"You are still asking me however to commit an act of terrorism on my own citizens, to actively kill them" There was no way of denying that that if he agreed with the plan, than innocent civilians would be killed or injured for this plan. "If any of this was ever written down or had any type of record down than it would collapse the country the moment it was found". The threat to the nation was ridiculously high, at this present moment in time, the teenager was an asset to the country, one which couldn't afford to be lost. Yet he was at serious risk since he hadn't chosen the larger side and was at a serious disadvantage, but there was also no way of getting the family magic they wanted out of the wizard to get rid of these problems. He had to make a choice, one which if it went wrong would destroy everything.
"You are certain, that this document tells the truth on Mrs Weasley's plans, to not only destroy the democratic process of the British Magical Parliament but then spread her ideology around the world and support muggle terrorist groups that would hold the same idea". Wizard was dangerous, there was no doubt about that in the Prime Ministers mind, with the ability to use magic to take control of muggle leaders minds with magic than they could effectively rule the entire world with large amounts of power. Added to the fact that besides the U.K only Greece and Japan knew about the magical world then that still meant that many powerful countries could turn against them at a moment's notice. Also, there was the fact of ship girls, currently they were the only foreseeable method of regaining control of the world's oceans waterways, something that was of the massive defensive importance of the United Kingdom. He could not allow the country to be put at risk in such a way.
"I am Prime Minister, there is no doubt in my mind that should Mrs Weasley carry on with her plans, that some way down the line that she will use magic to attack other nations and their heads of state. I am also sure of the fact that should we win that civil war than Lord Squire will see to the destruction of the Ship Girls". There was no sarcasm in the teen's voice, The Prime Minister noted, no the teenager was full of the belief that these individuals proved a threat to the nation of the United Kingdom, And as such, they had to be eliminated. The dull purple eyes confirmed this, no spark of life or excitement just calms yet one which seemed to exude a small presence that should he not give his support than the civil war would still go ahead.
Leaning back the Prime Minister closed his eyes for a small amount of time, actively trying to think about what the correct course of action was, this was a major political decision. It wasn't like what his predecessors for the past few decades had faced, not since Margret Thatcher has there been such an important decision to be made, and even then the last major political decision of such ramifications was the Second World War when the citizens of the U.K were at serious risk. If things went poorly than all plans of recovering the U.K could disappear if a one person died, yet if things went well, then it could possibly with the right people significantly improve muggle magical relations. Slowly the Prime Minister opened his eyes to give his verdict.
"Very well, however, should there be any threat of magical activity against the United Kingdom then I will not hesitate to use all the power I have to defend this country". It was a clear and stark warning, this war could not be fought how Voldermort had done with the kidnapping of muggle civilians for rape and torture. The Prime Minister was entirely sure whether he could believe the information that he had heard and was placing a lot of trust in a person who was only fourteen, this war would have to be conducted fast and quickly with as fair a trial as possible after the war.
"Thank you Prime Minister for your trust and support, should we succeed than I shall try to establish rationality where I can" Not every decision that Weasley had made was bad, with the destruction of the most traditional houses, some very good proposals had been put in place, such as getting rid of the underage magical laws, improving the quality of aurors, mandatory teaching about muggle's so that magical's could know what to expect if they encountered them, reducing the bureaucracy to becoming a potions master allowing more people like werewolves to buy the potions they desperately needed. After all potions was similar to cooking in that while basic potions could be similar to learning cooking at school and Newts with potions could be like that of a university, a master was more akin to a person who actually worked in the gourmet industry and was qualified to make the most complex and dangerous of potions preventing the mass public from creating the potions themselves.
"Do not make me regret it Heir Tempest, The only reason I am doing this is that of your personal value." With a silent nod, the wizard left the office of the Prime Minister before applying an illusion charm around himself and then walking outside fooling anyone who might have seen him normally. After all, if the media started reporting on a strange teenager walking out of ten Downing Street, then there would be a massive story. Alone in his office, The Prime Minister looked at the secretary of Defence a look of concern on his face, then he spoke. "Did I make the right decision?"
"It's unknown sir, however, the fact remains that he is crucial to the ship girl project if we lose him than we lose any and all process. Although the boy wasn't lying, after the second wizarding war, we stepped up our intelligence on the magical community and this list of policies is something that our sources state is something that the minister would put in place". Briefly, the PM's eyes darted towards the sheet as he breathed in and out, he had given his support, only time would tell them if he had done the right or wrong thing in this upcoming war.
"What exciting times we live in" The Pm drawled as he thought of the sheer amount of stuff that was happening in the modern world currently. "The magical world about to go to war, revolutionaries in the streets, terrorist attacks, the collapse of the country by the end of the year, as well as ship girls and whatever the hell the abyssal are. Can you think of a more hectic time than since the Second World War to be the leader of the government"?
"Well I've just received reports that there is a rising Militant Irish Unification group in southern Ireland, The EU is planning on a full complete integration by the end of the year, and the U.S is experiencing massive riots, a rise in devastating hurricanes, massive forest fires and Earthquakes" If there was one advantage of having magical secret agents it meant that they could report standard news to the government keeping them in track of what was happening, meaning that the government at least knew what they would be walking into.
"Anything else"
"South America's just diverged into two different blocks and by the sounds of things are going to start a war soon, There's also been a massive surge in refugees crossing through turkey to get to Europe current reports are about fifty million with it expected to at least triple. Suffice to say that there is an ever-widening divide between the two sides with violence already having turned bloody with several Greek police dead, as for refugees, the response has not been pretty, On the plus side though I do have sort of good news" With the current state of things, the PM really hoped that it was good news, already he had to plan that if they ever did manage to take back the channel the sheer amount of political shit he was going to have to wade through.
"And what's that"
"We just had a report that states we've had our first carrier come through, a certain HMS Ark Royal. Although we have no plans for her to fly yet so they're asking for more factories" With a loud thump the Secretary of Defence watched as the Pm slammed his head against the table as he realised just how much more tension there was going to be.
